ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Born with soul. Raised on American pop. Classically trained. Fine-tuned in Nashville. Armed with a full heart, Dan Schaefer harnesses the experiences and musical influences of a lifetime to bring forth Pure Life, the new album.

The Nashville-based singer/songwriter essentially collaborates with himself on the new collection, writing, singing and playing every word, note and instrument. Pure Life sets a hook immediately, and repeated listening reveals hidden meaning--kind of like life itself. Standouts include the driving and philosophical “When I Needed a Reason,” the melodic and thankful “Chosen Family,” the suspenseful coming-of-age mini-movie “Cliff Cave,” the inspirational story-song inspired by the Happier Than a Billionaire book series by Nadine Hays Pisani, “Pura Vida (Pure Life),” and the Spanish-language choral piece “Montserrat.”
